1759'ers were out in force on Friday, February 21 for the Great Guinness Toast since our headquarters pub, B. D. Riley's was an official toast site. We did some recruiting, sold some cool chapter tee shirts and spread the word about our fine chapter. B.D. Riley's filled up early, and the pub was rocking long before "Toast Time" of 11pm.
Affectionately known as "St. Practice Day," the Great Guinness Toast is made up of pint drinkers in pubs all across the country, toasting in unison in an attempt to set a new benchmark in the Guinness Book of World Records. Toastmaster Neville Stewart, from the South Side of Dublin did the toasting the Honors again this year, and right after the Toast Neville's band "Pubcrawler" continued to entertain with fine Celtic Music.
It was a great warmup for St. Patrick's Day and gave us a chance to recruit 5 new members. In all it was an evening of good fun, good pints and fine craic!
